Bending time

- or at least seeing it from a new perspective.

How do you perceive time?

If you close your eyes right now and sense how you perceive time how is it?

In front of you? Behind you? Left side, right side. Is it moving or standing still?

Most people perceive time as linear. Like a straight line in front of you where we are born, we live and we die.

You probably also have some sort of idea about the pace of time. A second. A minute. An hour.

Lately I have been working with my perception of time as a concept and I have tried to see if I can change the pace of time.

Or change my perception of the pace of time.

I keep coming back to the word: PRESENCE.

I have experienced very concretely how my happiness is in the now, and the now is entered via presence.

By being where you are. Not in the past. Not in the future but in the now.

The now has often stressed me because it is transient.

It feels like I am loosing it all the time, but yesterday something radically changed.

My husband said one of the wisest things I have heard and I cannot unhear it.

Or un-feel it. In a deep conversation I asked him what version of me he likes the best and he said “the extreme calmness you possess when you are wide” he took his hands apart creating space between his hands to show me what he meant.”

Instead of when you are narrow” and he took his one hand and moved it forward like and arrow in front of him. Direction = away.

I understood exactly what he meant and I also understood the difference in energy. One energy is IN the NOW - it is wide. The other energy is away from the now – it is narrow and in a constant tunnel movement.

So simple yet such a breakthrough in my perception of time and energy. I realized I can change time by making it wider. By expanding it to the side - in width. The linear is already there, but adding the width to it, time can change. If I expand time to the side I have more presence, I experience more now. I am more life. As if the pace of the linear takes off and a vacum appears.

Do you see it?

It is a perception. A feeling. It’s different.

WIDTH: another dimension to time
